Description

Inconvenient Heritage: Erasure and Global Tourism in Luang Prabang offers a deep look into the complex realities of World Heritage Site designation. Published by Routledge, this study examines how international recognition impacts local communities and preservation efforts in Laos. While UNESCO status can bring much needed funding and preservation to impoverished areas, it also carries the risk of destructive side effects through the redevelopment and packaging of local culture. This book provides a revealing study with lessons for tourism and preservation projects across the globe. It explores the tension between the idea that heritage belongs to all people and the actual impact on the territory where it resides. By examining the story of Luang Prabang, readers gain a perspective on how prestigious designations change the landscape of local life and community identity. This is an essential read for those interested in the social sciences, archaeology, and the global dynamics of heritage management.
